notes on the share

Celeriac and cranberry beans highlight this week's share - items you most likely won't find at your local supermarket. Celeriac, or celery root, is one of the ugliest crops we grow, but it has a beautiful, intense celery flavor that is perfect in soups and gratins. You must remove the skin by cutting it off with a sharp knife. Inside you'll find hard flesh similar to that of a potato. The cranberry beans must be shelled first (the pod can then be discarded). I like to boil them in a good amount of water for about 25-30 minutes and then throw them in a salad with arugula and shaved parmesan. They are also delicious in soups!

Here's what some food bloggers and NPR are saying about cranberry beans and celeriac:
